Sober Not Boring Events

02/11/2025

We had a great time sitting down with Tim from the Daily News last week! What an honor and a privilege to share our hearts and vision about a community we truly love and care for.

Addiction is all about isolation and it makes you feel that no one on Earth would understand or even care about your situation while feeding off of your guilt and shame. The opposite of that is community - and that's what we work so hard to build and support here at Outreach 419. This community has been such a blessing to us and serving these amazing men and women is something we look forward to daily!

Our groups are non-denominational recovery and support groups meaning they are not specifically subscribed to one recovery pathway. Regardless if you're in recovery with a substance use disorder or not, you will find the support you need wherever you may be at on your journey through this thing we call life. Stop out sometime and see for your self. The coffee is always on, the conversation is welcoming, and we can't wait to celebrate you!

Here's your sign!

Tonight at Sober Not Boring, we’re focusing on the power of Gratitude and Testimonies. This special evening is all about celebrating wins, milestones, and the things we’re grateful for while reflecting on the important role gratitude plays in recovery. Whether you’re new to recovery, a supportive community member, or walking alongside someone in their journey, this event is for you!

Gratitude is more than just saying “thank you”—it’s a mindset that shifts focus from what’s missing to what’s meaningful. In recovery, gratitude helps us build resilience, embrace hope, and cultivate positivity even during challenging times. By celebrating the people and moments that make life brighter, we create a foundation for sustained growth and healing.

Sharing your story is one of the most powerful tools in recovery. It connects us to others, strengthens community bonds, and reminds us that we’re not alone. Testimonies allow us to reflect on how far we’ve come, inspire others, and give thanks for the progress made, no matter how big or small.

Questions to Reflect On Tonight 1/31/2025
What is one win or milestone from 2024 that you’re most proud of?
Who or what has been a source of gratitude in your journey?
How has your mindset changed since starting recovery?

Join Us Tonight!
Dinner starts at 5:30 PM, followed by Gratitude and Testimonies at 6:30 PM. Don’t miss this chance to connect, reflect, and celebrate in a safe and supportive environment.

💡 Reminder: Gratitude isn’t just for tonight—it’s a daily practice that rewires our perspective and strengthens recovery. Leave tonight inspired to carry gratitude into your everyday life!

Let’s share, grow, and thrive together at Outreach 419. You belong here. 💜

🌟 Breaking Stigma, Building Support 🌟

As we wrap up National Substance Use Disorder Treatment Month, we are reminded of the importance of breaking down stigma and building a community of support for those on the journey of recovery. At Outreach 419, our mission is rooted in these very principles—fostering connection, offering encouragement, and creating a welcoming space for everyone, no matter where they are in their journey.

If you or someone you know is seeking support, recovery resources, or just a community to connect with, we’re here for you. Our doors are open 7 days a week with daily group meetings, and our Friday night Sober Not Boring events are a perfect way to engage, have fun, and find encouragement in a supportive environment.

📍 Visit us at 235 W. Fenwick Rd, Fenwick, MI
🌐 Check out our website for daily group schedules: www.outreach419.com

Together, we can break barriers and stand up to stigma. Let’s continue to build a future where recovery is possible and support is always available. 💙

Love, Recovery, and Self-Worth

Valentine’s Day can be tough, especially if you’re on the recovery journey. The pressure to find love or be in a relationship can feel overwhelming, but here’s the truth: the greatest love you’ll ever experience starts with the right foundation and grows as you learn to love yourself.

Recovery is a time for rebuilding—your habits, your life, and yes, even your relationships. But healthy relationships start with a healthy you. Take time to heal, reflect, and set boundaries. Don’t rush into a relationship to fill a void. Instead, focus on what truly matters: mutual respect, trust, and support for your sobriety.

Remember, love isn’t just about romance. It’s found in friendships and community also!

This Valentine’s Day, give yourself permission to grow, heal, and embrace some healthy self-love. You’re already enough. ❤️ follow the link to read more!
